On beds, on one of 3 quilt racks, and on the walls! Wips are on quilt frame.

I drape them over my railing in my loft, layer them on my guest bed (alternate them every couple weeks or months).

oh boy .. LOL there are 3 on the couch, DD has one, DH has one in the spare room, theres 1 in a pile in my bedroom>>>>>> lol All of mine get used all the time. No time to display. But if I get some of my tops sandwhiched and finished, I might consider one of those rach thingys and a couple of the wooden hanger things.

I use 2 ladders: one is very tall and I have larger quilts on that one and the other one is an old bunk-bed ladder with a couple of small quilts on it. I also have 3 on my couch and 4 hanging on walls. My very early (and bad) quilts are on a wooden rack in my sun-porch; they get some sunlight but haven't faded in the 10 yrs they've been out there.
I do put acid free paper on all the wooden rungs of the ladders and rack I use.

Good idea about the acid free paper. I wouldn't have thought of that. I want to incorporate a ladder when I redo my great room.
